My dr said they were ok as long as they were not my main source of protein. You want to try to get your protein with real food. I use the sunwarrior protein powder that is plant based. I can get about 60 grams in but sometimes I need 80-100 and I have to add the powder in a smoothie.

My heart rate usually goes to 150s/160s and I try not to go over 170 because I think that is too much. I am almost 31 weeks along and have not changed much on my weight routine. Biceps-15 lbs, down from 20. Triceps 10-15lbs. I still lift sitting chest press is around 40-50lbs, down from 65. Some of my back exercises are…

At 21 weeks I am at 11 lbs. Have stayed the same for 2 weeks. Normally I can maintain my weight for 3 weeks and then it suddenly jumps 2 lbs. So weird. It averages out to about 1/2 lb a week. Not too bad

I eat 2100/day for maintenace. I am 5"7' with medium build. I was eating way less before pregnancy. I workout out on avg 5 days/week. I make sure to eat back my exercise calories, so I would add another 200-400 (normally) during the week. Weekends, I have long runs and I have to eat back a lot and that is hard to do on…

I have been a marathon runner for 7 years and am still doing half marathons. Last year I did an ultra and that was really awesome. I went back to the trail run where I did my 60k and did the 23k this year. I am 4 months right now and I have 2 half marathons left. The last one will be around 6 months along. I lift 3-4 days…

Due Aug 30th with Kentucky summers. Not as humid as some but enough for misery. I work in construction as a safety manager, so jeans and shirts with sleeves for me! Trying to find thinner shirts tho!

When I found out I was pregnant, I did what I thought was comfortable for my body. I did lower my weight, but did higher reps. You don't have to quit your lifting, just adjust it. My doctor told me to continue doing what I was before I became pregnant and I would know what my limits are. She is very right. I was feeling…

I have been doing maintenance + 100 calories since I found out I was pregnant. I am 13w3d along. When you are around 16-20 weeks, add more calories (about 200-300). Eating for two is NOT eating for two. People constantly push food at me "since I am eating for two" so be aware of that. It was really hard for me to eat…

I can totally see me having a meltdown on someone who was giving me the stink eye at a gym!! That is great. Where I workout, I am normally the only one there unless my DH is with me. It doesn't have a/c so I will be forced to join a real gym. I will keep in mind those that dare look at me weird! ha:wink:

I have 3 half marathons coming up. My last one I will be 25 weeks along. There are plenty of women who run while pregnant and I want to be able to do it too! Good luck, have fun, and just don't worry about your time!

I eat every 2 hrs like clockwork. Sometimes its 90 mins and then I am starving. I just try to make healthier decisions. Eating 2200 per day.

I am 10w2d and have only gained 2. I was up 4, but worked 12 hr shifts all last week and lost 2. Lots of stair and walking, but I was eating everything in sight. I had to trade in my healthier meals for meals that "stick to your ribs" since I was starving all the time.

August 30th here

I have been trying to minimize my artificial sweetner intake since we don't really know much about all of them. This is hard for me since I have always been a diet coke addict. I am really trying to drink tea without sugar. It is all what you get used to, I suppose.

I am 7 weeks pregnant and need to track to remind myself to watch my calories. I am hungry all the time. I am a runner and have been training for a half in March, one in April, and one in May. I always stop running in May due to the heat. I don't tolerate it well. Would love to add those who are expecting so we can gain…

Chocolate Gravy...it is either white or brown. No need to add chocolate!

That is awesome! You are a rock star! :glasses:

Breathe! You can only control your actions. If you eat something, it will make you feel worse. Take a 5 min walk and when you come back focus on what you can control.
